Creating this book has been an exciting and challenging creative project and it would not have been possible without the help, guidance and support of a number of wonderful people. Thank you to Cindy Richards, Penny Craig, Fahema Khanam and the team at CICO Books who are a joy to work with. Huge thanks to photographers Penny Wincer and Emma Mitchell, and stylist Nel Haynes for the breathtaking photography, also to the editor Rachel Atkinson whose technical wisdom has taught me so much, and to Jemima Bicknell for her meticulous pattern checking!
Thanks also to the companies who supported this book with yarns and materials – Artesano, Cascade Yarns, Deramores, Lion Brand, Rowan, Designer Yarns and Minerva Crafts – your generosity is hugely appreciated.
The last couple of months have seen me crocheting all hours and my friends and families have been nothing short of my own personal cheer squad. Thank you all and I hope that you, and my online friends and readers of www.madepeachy.com enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed working on it.
Finally, I can probably never express my gratitude enough to my wonderful husband John, who encourages and motivates me every step of the way, and not least, for always reading out the subtitles on movies so I don't have to look up from my crochet!
